CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
I am pleased to report on another successful year of continued
growth for the group, in which we have continued to execute our
strategy to grow the business, delivering strong, sustainable
financial performance, and reported results for the year ahead of
original market expectations. This performance was delivered
through our broadening range of services to an increasingly diverse
range of clients.
We have a proven growth strategy which, over the five year
period between 2019 and 2023, has doubled revenue from GBP60m to
GBP122m and tripled adjusted profit before tax from GBP7m to
GBP21m, from a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. This
growth has been delivered across insolvency and our full range of
advisory and transactional services.
Revenue from formal insolvency appointments has increased to
GBP71m from GBP35m in 2019 and we have continued to make good
progress in the year. We have experienced a significant increase in
higher value insolvency appointments over the last twelve months,
benefitting from our enhanced reputation in mid-market
insolvencies.
We have maintained our market-leading position (by volume of
appointments) with a 13% share of the overall market, ranked first
nationally. An area of strategic focus has been to increase our
exposure to larger and more complex insolvency appointments. We
have been successful in doing so and our current 11% share of the
administration market has seen our national ranking increase to
second place from fourth over the last five years.
Our advisory and transactional services, which are delivered
within both of our operating divisions (insolvency and property),
increased revenue to GBP51m from GBP25m in 2019. From a standing
start in 2014, these services, which span counter-cyclical,
defensive and pro-cyclical activities, now represent c.40% of our
group revenue. Our services now include financial advisory;
transactional support (acquisition and disposal); funding;
valuations; projects and development; and asset management and
insurance. This expanded service offering has increased the depth
of advice and expertise we can provide to our clients and broadened
and developed our referral network of corporates, fellow
professionals and institutions, benefitting the whole group.
Overall, the group remains well-positioned in the current
macro-economic environment, with a diverse mix of services and 80%
of income generated from counter-cyclical and defensive
activities.
In July 2022, we acquired Mantra Capital, a London-based
property finance brokerage, to enhance the scale of our funding
business which we commenced with the MAF Finance Group acquisition
in May 2021. This service line and contact base is highly
complementary to both our insolvency and advisory offerings.
In addition, we acquired two chartered surveyors' practices
(Budworth Hardcastle in June 2022 and Mark Jenkinson & Co in
March 2023), which have strengthened our teams in Eastern England
and South Yorkshire respectively. Following the year end, in May
2023, we acquired Banks, Long & Co, another firm of chartered
surveyors, further strengthening our regional presence across
Eastern England.
The group continues to be highly cash generative, with free cash
flow of GBP14.1m, and ended the year with a net cash balance of
GBP3.0m (2022: GBP4.7m), having made GBP10.6m of acquisition and
deferred consideration payments and paid dividends of GBP5.4m in
the year. This cash generation enables us to propose a 9% increase
in the total dividend for the year, representing our sixth
consecutive year of dividend growth.
Our strong financial position leaves us well placed to continue
to invest in the business, both organically and through
acquisitions, to further build our scale and range of complementary
services.
RESULTS
Group revenue in the year increased by 11% to GBP121.8m (2022:
GBP110.0m), 6% of which was organic. Adjusted profit before
tax(1,2) increased by 16% to GBP20.7m (2022: GBP17.8m). Statutory
profit before tax was GBP6.0m (2022: GBP4.0m).
Adjusted basic earnings per share(1,3) increased by 15% to 10.5p
(2022: 9.1p). Basic earnings per share was 1.9p (2022: loss per
share of 0.3p, reflecting a one-off non-cash deferred tax
charge).
Net cash on 30 April 2023 was GBP3.0m (2022: GBP4.7m).
1 The board uses adjusted performance measures to provide
meaningful information on the operating performance of the
business. The items excluded from our adjusted results are those
which arise due to acquisitions in accordance with IFRS 3. They are
not influenced by the day-to-day operations of the group.
2 Profit before tax GBP6.0m (2022: GBP4.0m) plus transaction
costs GBP8.4m (2022: GBP8.3m) and amortisation of intangible assets
arising on acquisitions GBP6.3m (2022: GBP5.5m)
3 See reconciliation in note 5
DIVID
The board is pleased to recommend (subject to shareholder
approval at the company's annual general meeting scheduled for 19
September 2023) a 9% increase in the total dividend for the year to
3.8p (2022: 3.5p), representing our sixth consecutive year of
dividend growth. This comprises the interim dividend already paid
of 1.2p (2022: 1.1p) and a proposed final dividend of 2.6p (2022:
2.4p).
This reflects the board's confidence in the group's financial
position and prospects, whilst retaining capacity for our continued
organic and acquisitive growth strategy. We remain committed to our
long-term progressive dividend policy, which takes account of the
group's earnings growth, our investment plans and cash
requirements, together with the market outlook.
The final dividend will be paid on 3 November 2023 to
shareholders on the register on 6 October 2023, with an
ex-dividend date of 5 October 2023.
STRATEGY
We believe that the execution of our growth strategy will
continue to enhance shareholder value through the delivery of
strong, sustainable financial performance, building on our progress
in recent years.
Organic growth will be targeted through:
-- retention and development of our existing partners and employees;
-- recruitment of new talent;
-- enhanced cross-selling of our service lines and expertise to our wider client base; and
-- investment in technology and processes to enhance working
practices and improve the service to our clients.
Our acquisition strategy is to target value-accretive
acquisitions in any of the following market segments:
-- insolvency to increase market share;
-- advisory and transactional services to enhance expertise or geographical coverage; and
-- complementary professional services businesses to continue
the development of the group and its service offering.
PEOPLE
The continuing success of the group is reliant on the hard work
and dedication of our colleagues and the quality of advice and
service they deliver to our clients. I would like to thank all of
our colleagues for their contribution over the course of the last
financial year. We have completed a number of acquisitions in
recent years, and we are pleased with the way our teams are working
together and our new colleagues have integrated into our
culture.
BOARD
In February 2023, we appointed Mandy Donald to the board as a
non-executive director and member of the audit committee, as part
of our plans to manage the development, succession and diversity of
the board. Mandy brings valuable and relevant experience from her
executive and non-executive roles and broadens the board's existing
skills and expertise. In the new financial year, Mandy will succeed
Graham McInnes as chair of the audit committee.
SUSTAINABILITY
The board is committed to developing the business in a
sustainable way for the benefit of all our stakeholders.
We look to have a positive impact for our colleagues and the
communities we serve; operate with a culture of strong governance
and responsible behaviour; and minimise our impact on the
environment.
During the year under review, we have made progress in a number
of areas, notably through investing in our human resources
expertise to enhance our people management. In addition, we have
made progress in transitioning our company car fleet to ultra-low
emission vehicles, migrating energy supplies to renewable tariffs
and making changes to our IT estate to reduce energy
consumption.
Further information on our sustainability policies and progress
is detailed in the full annual report.
OUTLOOK
We have started the new year confident of a further year of
growth, in line with market expectations .
The increased scale of the group with complementary professional
services and an enhanced client base provides a strong platform for
us to continue delivering our strategy of organic and acquired
growth. We remain well-positioned in the current macro-economic
environment, with a diverse mix of services and 80% of income
generated from counter-cyclical and defensive activities.
Our insolvency team will benefit from their recent insolvency
appointments and increased order book, together with anticipated
further growth in the insolvency market. We continue to identify
growth opportunities for our advisory and transactional teams,
having completed a further acquisition of a firm of chartered
surveyors in May 2023.
Our strong balance sheet and cash generation underpin our
capacity to deliver organic growth initiatives and progress our
pipeline of acquisitions, thereby continuing our track record of
growth. We will provide an update on trading at the annual general
meeting in September 2023.

BUSINESS REVIEW
OPERATING REVIEW
Insolvency and advisory
Financial summary
Revenue increased by 10% (6% organic) to GBP89.7m (2022:
GBP81.4m), reflecting an increase in activity levels combined with
acquisitions. Revenue from formal insolvency appointments increased
to GBP70.6m (2022: GBP66.7m) with advisory activities generating
GBP19.1m (2022: GBP14.7m). This is a record level of revenues
generated by advisory activities, representing 20% of divisional
revenues in the year.
Operating costs increased by GBP5.3m to GBP65.7m (2022:
GBP60.4m), as a result of inflationary cost increases (principally
salaries) and costs associated with acquired businesses. However,
these costs reduced as a percentage of revenue which resulted in
improved operating margins of 26.8% (2022: 25.8%).
Segmental profits* increased by 14% to GBP24.0m (2022:
GBP21.0m).
* See note 2
Insolvency market
Corporate insolvencies* nationally increased to 22,983 (2022:
16,575). This is due to both liquidations which, as previously
reported, have exceeded pre-pandemic levels, together with
increased administrations (typically larger cases) which remain
below historic levels but are now higher than the post-pandemic
lows of calendar 2021.
The challenges for UK businesses are expected to continue to
support growth in the insolvency market.

number of corporate insolvencies in England and Wales on a
seasonally adjusted basis for 12 months to 31 March
Operating review
Insolvency
We have maintained our market-leading positions (by volume of
appointments) where we are ranked first nationally for overall
corporate appointments* with a 13% share and second nationally in
administrations with an 11% share. These strong market positions
reflect the benefits of investments we have made in recent years,
notably in expanding our London office and offshore practice.
Higher levels of insolvency appointments in the year increased
both corporate insolvency revenue by 10% (GBP5.7m) and the
insolvency order book** by 19% (GBP5.7m). The order book** at 30
April 2023 was GBP35.2m (2022: GBP29.5m, 2021: GBP28.3m). Prior
year performance was enhanced by exceptional levels of personal
insolvency activity, which generated an additional GBP1.8m revenue
in that year. Personal insolvency revenue normalised to GBP5.5m in
the year to 30 April 2023.
Our market-leading position and national office network ensures
the business is well-positioned to provide advice and assistance to
UK SME and mid-market corporates. During the year we were appointed
as administrators of Worcester Rugby Club, Avonside Group (largest
roofing contractor in the UK), Silverbond Enterprises Limited
(former operator of the Park Lane Casino in London), Cox & Cox
(on-line furniture retailer) and Paperchase (national
retailer).
During the year, we commenced a pilot project with a major bank,
including over 100 cases, to assist in the recovery of bounce back
loans. We are encouraged, based on recoveries to date, that this
pilot project may provide a means for banks and the Government to
maximise recovery.

Companies House

contingent fee income)
Advisory
Our advisory teams provide restructuring, debt advisory,
corporate finance, forensic accounting and funding advice for
clients.
During the year, we advised on the first SME court sanctioned
restructuring plan (enabled by the Corporate Insolvency and
Governance Act 2020) of Houst, the short-term holiday lettings
operator. This follows our previous use of this new legislation on
the mid-market Amicus finance restructuring in 2021.
We continued to invest in developing our new funding service
line through the acquisition of Mantra in July 2022, which followed
the acquisition of MAF Finance Group in May 2021. Mantra is an
FCA-regulated finance and insurance brokerage based in London. The
team has significant expertise across both commercial and
residential real estate lending, providing property investment and
development finance, finance for trading businesses and residential
mortgages. In addition, they provide insurance brokerage services
to their commercial clients. The business has performed well in the
year and in line with our expectations.
This business complements the MAF team, who specialise in
providing access to finance through arranging facilities for
investment in new asset purchases (including equipment, vehicles
and property) together with both refinancing and restructuring
existing facilities.
Finance broking complements the group's other advisory and
transactional services and deepens the group's existing
relationships with banks and other lenders.
People
The number of people employed in the division has increased to
664 on 30 April 2023 from 590 at the start of the financial year,
principally reflecting the acquisition of Mantra.
Property advisory and transactional services
Financial summary
Revenue increased by 12% (3% organic) to GBP32.1m (2022:
GBP28.6m), reflecting acquisitions ( first-time contribution from
current year and full year impact of prior year transactions) and
organic growth of key service lines, reflecting the resilient
nature of our services in a challenging marketplace .
Operating costs increased to GBP26.4m (2022: GBP23.8m), as a
result of costs associated with acquired businesses and
inflationary cost increases (principally salaries). However, these
costs reduced as a percentage of revenue which resulted in improved
operating margins of 18.0% (2022: 16.8%).
Segmental profits* increased by 19% to GBP5.7m (2022:
GBP4.8m).
* See note 2
Operating review
Valuations
Our team value commercial property, businesses and assets for
secured lending, commercial transactions or corporate
reporting.
Our activities increased over the year, benefitting from the
full year impact of the acquisition of Daniells Harrison in the
prior year, which extended our valuation team to the south coast,
increasing our national coverage. Organic activity levels were
maintained in the year, with the short-term market disruption
following the mini-budget being recovered over the remainder of the
year as activity levels normalised in spite of further interest
rate rises.
Transactions
Our transactional teams had a good year overall, with our mix of
activities and clients proving resilient against economic
headwinds.
Auction activity increased in the year, resulting from increased
insolvency-related plant and machinery sales, offset by reduced
property auction income (particularly in the first half of the
year). We made progress in developing our property auction offering
through the acquisition of a team from Mark Jenkinson & Co, a
Sheffield auctioneer. This complements our current team and
increases our geographic coverage. The teams have now integrated
and are operating on a common auction platform. In addition, there
are encouraging signs of increased activity levels. A strong
auction platform is a benefit to the group in the current economic
cycle of higher interest rates, which will typically result in an
increased proportion of property sales being conducted through
auction.
Agency income increased in the year from a combination of
acquisitions and organic growth. Although some transactions were
delayed in autumn 2022, as the market reacted to the UK
mini-budget, we saw a recovery in completed transactions in the
second half of the financial year. Our client mix (typically SMEs
and independent landlords) and property size (typical capital value
up to GBP2.5m) provides a level of mitigation against some of the
market volatility that impacts properties with higher capital
values. Corporate lettings were robust, providing a resilient
income stream to complement the more cyclical sales cycle. The team
increased in the year following the acquisition of Budworth
Hardcastle, who have merged with our existing, market-leading
Eastern England agency team. Following the year end, the Eastern
England team were further bolstered by the acquisition of Banks
Long & Co, a firm of chartered surveyors employing 38 staff in
Lincoln and operating throughout Lincolnshire and Humberside.
Business sales transaction levels were robust in the year having
absorbed the market impact of higher interest rates.
Projects and development
Our building and projects team offer a comprehensive range of
consultancy services, including project management, building
surveying and specialist advice. We operate across a range of
sectors and act for landlords, tenants, investors and developers.
We have specialists in the education sector working for public
sector clients, with an increasing focus on sustainability .
We have continued to develop the business in the year, including
the integration of the Budworth Hardcastle team which has enhanced
our Eastern England offering. We also made good progress in
expanding our public sector practice in the education sector and
other areas.
Our transport planning and highway design team work with
developers to deliver successful transport planning solutions. Our
activity levels were in line with the prior year as the team
continued to advise and be appointed on new development schemes in
the year.
Asset management and insurance
We manage commercial properties for investors, corporate
occupiers and property companies across the UK with an asset base
of shopping centres, industrial portfolios and commercial
offices.
During the year, we integrated the Budworth Hardcastle property
management team, which increased the number of properties under
management. The team benefits from long-standing client
relationships with organic income broadly in line with the prior
year.
Income from insurance and vacant property risk management
activities increased from the prior year, reflecting the increase
in insolvency activity levels in the group and third party
clients.
People
The number of people employed in the division has increased to
345 on 30 April 2023 from 326 at the start of the financial year,
principally reflecting the acquisitions.

* part year contribution from acquisitions in the year and full

Transaction costs
Transaction costs are non-operating items and arise due to
acquisitions in accordance with IFRS 3. They include the
following:
-- Acquisition consideration where the vendors have obligations
in the sale and purchase agreement to provide post-acquisition
services for a fixed period (deemed remuneration in accordance with
IFRS 3). This consideration is charged to profit over the period of
service;
-- Gains on acquisitions, where the fair value of assets
acquired exceeds the consideration (due to elements of
consideration being accounted for as deemed remuneration and
charged to income as detailed above); and
-- Legal and professional fees incurred on acquisitions.
These costs (detailed in note 3) were GBP8.4m (2022: GBP8.3m) in
the year. This reflects an increase in acquisition consideration
from both current and prior year acquisitions, partially offset by
a gain on acquisition.
Tax
The overall tax charge for the year was GBP3.1m (2022: GBP4.5m)
as detailed below:

The prior period deferred tax charge of GBP1.8m was a one-off
non-cash charge, resulting from an increase in deferred tax
liabilities following the legislation to increase the UK
corporation tax rate to 25% being enacted during the period.

Adjusted basic earnings per share* increased by 15% to 10.5p
(2022: 9.1p). Basic earnings per share was 1.9p (2022: loss per

On 30 April 2023 the group had 1,100 colleagues (2022: 1,000),
the increase being principally due to acquisitions.
The average number of full-time equivalent (FTE) colleagues
working in the group during the year is detailed below.

Acquisitions
During the financial year, the group made the following
acquisitions:
-- Budworth Hardcastle on 25 June 2022 for initial consideration
of GBP0.9m (GBP0.6m cash and issue of 206,937 shares - cash free,
debt free); potential earn out of up to GBP1.5m subject to meeting
financial growth targets over the five-year period
post-acquisition.
In its financial year ended 31 August 2021, Budworth Hardcastle
reported revenue of GBP1.8m and normalised pre-tax profits of
GBP0.4m when reported on the same basis as the group.
-- Mantra Capital on 22 July 2022 for initial consideration of
GBP4.5m (GBP4.0m cash and issue of 352,361 shares - cash free, debt
free); maximum earn out of GBP13.5m subject to delivering material
growth in profits over the four year period post-acquisition.
In its financial year ended 31 December 2021, Mantra reported
revenue of GBP4.2m and normalised pre-tax profits of GBP1.2m when
reported on the same basis as the group.
In addition, in March 2023, we expanded our property services
team in South Yorkshire through the acquisition of a team from Mark
Jenkinson & Co for consideration of GBP0.4m. Following the year
end, we acquired Banks Long & Co, a firm of chartered surveyors
in May 2023.
The cash outflow from acquisitions in the year was GBP10.6m (net
of cash acquired), comprising current year acquisitions of GBP5.2m
and prior year acquisitions of GBP5.4m.
The value of net assets acquired exceeds the accounting value of
consideration (as a result of the elements of consideration being
accounted for as deemed remuneration) and consequently a gain of
GBP4.6m has been recognised within transaction costs in the
year.
Liquidity
The group remains in a strong financial position. At 30 April
2023, the group had net cash of GBP3.0m (2022: GBP4.7m),
represented by cash balances of GBP8.0m (2022: GBP9.7m) net of
drawn borrowing facilities of GBP5.0m (2022: GBP5.0m). All bank
covenants were comfortably met during the year.
We have extended our borrowing facilities with HSBC which now
mature in August 2025 and comprise a GBP25m unsecured, committed
revolving credit facility (of which GBP5m was drawn at 30 April
2023) and a GBP5m uncommitted acquisition facility. We have
significant levels of headroom in these facilities to fund organic
investment and acquisition opportunities.
Cash flow
The group remains strongly cash-generative and generated free
cash flow of GBP14.1m (2022: GBP14.0m).
Cash flow in the year is summarised as follows:
2023 2022

* acquisition consideration payments accounted for as deemed

** acquisition consideration payments (defined above),

acquired
Cash from operating activities (before acquisition consideration
payments) was GBP24.4m (2022: GBP22.3m) with increased EBITDA of
GBP2.7m partially offset by increased working capital absorption of
GBP0.6m.
Tax payments increased to GBP5.3m (2022: GBP3.6m), resulting
from the previously guided change in due dates for corporation tax
payments, which resulted in an accelerated payment of GBP1.0m, and
an increase in the underlying payment to GBP4.3m (2022:
GBP3.6m).
Acquisition payments (net of cash acquired) in the year were
GBP10.6m (2022: GBP8.4m) comprising: the acquisitions of Mantra
Capital (GBP3.9m), Budworth Hardcastle (GBP0.5m) and Mark Jenkinson
(GBP0.4m) (2022: MAF Finance Group (GBP1.8m), Daniells Harrison
(GBP0.8m) and Fernie Greaves (GBP0.3m)), contingent payments in
respect of prior year acquisitions of GBP5.4m (2022: GBP5.3m) and
acquisition costs GBP0.4m (2022: GBP0.2m).
Net assets
At 30 April 2023 net assets were GBP84.3m (2022: GBP84.5m). The
GBP0.2m reduction in in net assets reflects the post-tax impact of
acquisition-related transaction and amortisation costs of GBP13.4m,
offset by post-tax adjusted earnings of GBP16.3m net of dividends
of GBP5.4m; a GBP1.3m credit for equity-settled share-based
payments; and GBP1.0m from the issue of new shares to satisfy share
options and acquisition consideration.
Going concern
The group is in a strong financial position and has significant
liquidity as detailed above.
In carrying out their duties in respect of going concern, the
directors have completed a review of the group's financial
forecasts for a period exceeding 12 months from the date of
approving this statement. This review included sensitivity analysis
and stress tests to determine the potential impact on the group of
reasonably possible downside scenarios. Under all modelled
scenarios, the group's banking facilities were sufficient and all
associated covenant measures were forecast to be met.
As a result, the directors have a reasonable expectation that
the company and the group have adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the
financial information in this statement is prepared on the going
concern basis.

1. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The results for the year ended 30 April 2023 have been prepared
on the basis of accounting policies consistent with those set out
in the annual report to shareholders of Begbies Traynor Group plc
for the year ended 30 April 2022.
The group's financial statements for the year ended 30 April
2023 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standards ('IAS') in conformity with the requirements of the
Companies Act 2006 and International Financial Reporting Standards
('IFRSs') adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it
applies in the European Union. Whilst the financial information
included in this announcement has been prepared in accordance with
IFRS, this announcement itself does not contain sufficient
information to comply with IFRS.
This financial information does not include all of the
information and disclosures required for full annual financial
statements and does not comprise statutory accounts within the
meaning of section 435 of the Companies Act 2006.
The comparative figures for the year ended 30 April 2022 do not
comprise the group's statutory accounts for that financial year.
Those accounts have been reported upon by the group's auditors and
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors
was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to
which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without
qualifying their report and did not contain statements under
section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Statutory accounts for Begbies Traynor Group plc for 2023 will
be delivered to the Registrar of Companies following the company's
annual general meeting. The auditors have reported on these
accounts; their report is unqualified and does not include a
reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by
way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not contain
statements under either section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act
2006. The 2023 annual report will be available on the group's
website: www.begbies-traynorgroup.com/investor-relations.
Going concern
In carrying out their duties in respect of going concern, the
directors have completed a review of the group's financial
forecasts for a period exceeding 12 months from the date of
approving this statement. This review included sensitivity analysis
and stress tests to determine the potential impact on the group of
reasonably possible downside scenarios. Under all modelled
scenarios, the group's banking facilities were sufficient and all
associated covenant measures were forecast to be met.
As such , the directors have a reasonable expectation that the
company and the group have adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the
financial information in this statement is prepared on the going
concern basis.
Adjusted performance measures
Management believes that adjusted performance measures provide
meaningful information to the users of the accounts on the
performance of the business and are the performance measures used
by the board. Accordingly, adjusted measures of operating profit,
profit before tax and earnings per share exclude, where applicable,
transaction costs, amortisation of intangible assets arising on
acquisitions and related tax effects on these items. These terms
are not defined terms under IFRS and may therefore not be
comparable with similarly titled profit measures reported by other
companies. They are not intended to be a substitute for, or
superior to, GAAP measures.
The items excluded from adjusted results are those which arise
due to acquisitions and are charged to the consolidated statement
of comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS 3. They are not
influenced by the
day-to-day operations of the group.
2. Segmental analysis
The group's operating segments are established on the basis of
the components of the group that are evaluated regularly by the
chief operating decision maker (the board). The group is managed as
two operating segments: insolvency and advisory services, and
property advisory and transactional services.
